Update progress pic..

**bodyhard** · 06-13-2021, 01:00 PM

I know I know, John you post too many pics, but I don't give a fck! I am feeling really good this year!!

Anyway this is not the whole progress pics, front side and back, which I will do in July, but just a quick updated progress pic from the beginning, Sept 1st 2020 till today June 13th. Middle pic I took in May,

I am trying to gain size so no jokes about that added fat OK

**Karl_Hungus** · 06-13-2021, 01:56 PM

Was that first pic taken after you'd taken some time off? Either way, looks like you have put on quite a bit of mass since then, so props!

Ohh yes, that first pic was when I was out of the gym for a while, I get skinny really fast. Add the quarantine, then getting Covid, man I lost a lot of size. But I bounce back, it just getting harder and harder as I age

But still gaining, slowly but but surely.

I think the consensus is that while bulking = go with short bodyhair.

Hmmmm not sure what this means, but I have way too much body hair

**bodyhard** · 06-13-2021, 05:03 PM

By the way I don't have my dumbbell chain on because I went to get tanned and if I would have had it on I would have the mark of the chain, happen to me before and it looked crazy.

Looking joocy and not at all fat.

How did you do your tan? Is it a spray tan?

**ChazWood** · 06-13-2021, 08:32 PM

Spray tan? The fuk???

EDIT: and awesome progress, Johnnycakes!

That's a really nice tan from a tanning booth.

I tan easily, hell I get tan just from driving around in my convertible, but the sun has to be out and beaming, Imma send you some pics so you can see the difference.

**ectoBgone** · 06-14-2021, 07:15 AM

Looking good! It's like you went from age 60 to 50 to 40 in those pics. Do you have a specific end goal (weight, bodyfat, PRs, etc) or are you just taking it day by day?

Sadly I always have the same goal and never ever reach it. I want to be 190lbs, roughly 8-10% BF, but I don't think it is realistic for me. I have gotten to 197 but was very "smooth" and if I would have dropped bf I would probably be 180l - 185lbs.

I don't have any PR's I use the weight to help sculpt my physique, its just a tool, like food to get my result.

Yup, I hear ya on that one.

Don't get me wrong I have some goal like deadlifting 5 plates and squatting 4 plates, but those are not PR's that is just what I have done before and I would like to do it again. Right now I am deadlifting 4 plates and squatting 2 plates and a quarter, so I think it is doable, but sh!t get harder every year

Yeah, I understand. Like you said earlier, the weight is just a variable to manage load intensity. I organize my lifts by exercise, target rep range, target reps in reserve, number of sets, and then use a weight that gets me within those driving principles. Whatever the weight is, it is. Adding weight becomes more of a measure of progress than a means of progress, with quality, hard sets being the means. Just a different mindset than when I first started even if it looks pretty similar in practice.

Understood, one of the things I believe has kept me in he game for so long is that I alternate from heavy, to medium, to light. Been training like this since like the early 90s LOL. I do 2 weeks heavy, two weeks medium and then 2 weeks light and start all over again.

Obviously I mix it up from here and there i.e. I did a 5x5 for several months, then did a push/pull/legs another several months, but for the most part I always revert back to my heavy, medium light routine. I think it has saved my joints/tendons/ligaments over the years.

I got fried at the beach this weekend from not going for a while. Looking like a tourist and sh*t

**steffo99** · 06-14-2021, 01:15 PM

Tried coming up with a clever comment but it ends up sounding too ghey, so I'll fall back to the boring diplomatic swedish style and just say good job getting back into it.

**steffo99** · 06-14-2021, 01:16 PM

Wonder what I will look like at 56? Probably benching 500 and smacking youngsters around.

My wife gets burn if she stays in the sun for more than 10 minutes. She has to use very strong sunblock.

I'm just glad I got the initial burn out of the way, now I have to wait for it to turn into a tan and maintain it from here.
